HARRINGTON — Kent County will soon be home to more energy options as Chaberton Energy and Pivot Energy work to develop two new community solar projects – one in Harrington and one in Magnolia.
The two companies joined forces with local leaders last week to break ground at Project Crestone in Harrington, signifying the start of their Delaware-based projects as developer Chaberton Energy celebrated with new solar farm owner and producer Pivot Energy.
“This project [in Harrington] originated about four and a half years ago in a really beautiful area. You have the water right there and a beautiful agricultural area,” Chaberton Chief Commercial and Sustainability Officer Erica Brinker told the Delaware Business Times. “And what’s so great about this project in particular is that it’s an agrivoltaics project, meaning the solar farm and agriculture will be able to operate concurrently.”
